The 5th C = Concepts / Content
We use a 5th C which is Concepts / Content. Knowledge is essential for problem solving. A lack of understanding of important concepts and/or a lack of relevant, valid information will negatively impact problem solving. All of our PSTs are connected to one or more “unit question” which is connected to a “course question” and ultimately a “discipline question.”
The 4Cs are the process skills of problem solving and the 5thC is the content – skills and content are integrated in every problem we tackle.
